Write a step-by-step how-to doc for any repeat task
Describe a task you do often and get a clean checklist someone else could follow.
Why it works
Documented processes let you hand work off and stop re-figuring things out.
Step by step
Talk it through.
I'm going to describe how I [TASK] in my own words. Turn it into a numbered standard operating procedure with a purpose line, tools needed, steps, and common mistakes: [DESCRIPTION]
Fill in the [brackets] with your details before you send.
Stress-test it.
Pretend you're a new hire following this doc for the first time. Which steps are ambiguous? Ask me the questions you'd need answered.
Finalize.
Update the procedure with my answers and add a one-line checklist version at the top.
Replace anything in [BRACKETS] with your details. Works with most AI chat assistants. The ChatGPT and Claude buttons open a new chat with the prompt already typed in, and you press send. Gemini doesn't accept pre-filled links, so its button copies the prompt for you to paste. For steps 2 and later, paste into the same chat you started so the AI keeps the context.
